Class 3A: Player of the Week

Matthew Wright

Performance: The Bobcats snapped a 20-game losing skid by knocking off bitter rival Tulia 35-7. Wright, after missing the previous two weeks with a cracked rib, returned to action to pass for 304 yards and four touchdowns. Wright completed 12 of 16 passes with no interceptions. His scoring strikes came from 72 and 30 yards and two from 24 yards.

Comment: "Matthew's just a great competitor," Dimmitt coach Glen Dunnam said. "He demonstrated great leadership and he's worked extremely hard to help us be a better team. It's nice to have him back because he helps give us some more options on offense and he's such a great competitor, and that shows up on the field."
